Here are some tips on how to get the best out of homework

1. Write your homework details down clearly and carefully in your planner.
2.  Make sure you understand the homework when it is set. Ask the teacher if you are not sure.
3. Try to do your homework on the day it is set while it is still fresh in your mind. Please don’t leave it until the night before it should be handed in.
4. Get into a routine with homework times. Set a time each night. Organise and plan your time. Hand it in on time.
5. Work in the place that suits you best.
6. If it is a complicated piece of writing (like a story, essay, or report) draft it out in rough first.

Additional suggestions:

1. If you are doing a long stint, give yourself a couple of breaks during it so that you don’t get too tired. Reward yourself with a treat if you have worked really hard.
2. If you are stuck, try to get your parents or an older brother or sister to help (but not to do your homework)
3. Try to improve on the fundamental task set. For example, use extra detail, explanations, or illustrations.
4. Always check through your work to spot mistakes and to add any final touches.
